Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to compete in the US Cyber Games Competitive Competition! This event showcased six categories: • Binary Exploitation (PWN) • Web • Forensics • Reverse Engineering • Misc • Crypto This one was the most challenging by far among all the competitions I've participated in! It truly opened my eyes to how much more I need to learn and grow in cybersecurity. My primary goal for this competition was to crack the top 50. By the end, I checked the unofficial scoreboard and saw my name in 44th place! For anyone considering participating next year, I can't recommend it enough! It was an absolute blast and a phenomenal learning experience. A huge shoutout to the organizers for putting together such an amazing event! I'll be releasing a write-up within the week, covering some of the challenges that I solved. There were some fantastic teaching moments that I can't wait to share with everyone. You will find the write-up on my GitHub (link in comments). In addition, Jacob E. has made all the challenges from the CTFd instance available! This means you can dive in, solve the challenges, and explore the walkthroughs with the write-ups. It's an excellent way to sharpen your CTF skills. A few of the web application challenges are ones I've encountered in real-world engagements! Have you ever participated in the US Cyber Games? I'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments! #cybersecurity #offsec #ctf #competition #infosec

Just came across an interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal about how colleges are helping small businesses with cyber security, and this idea is partially funded by a Google grant. At Eastern Washington University, we have an NSA certified cyber security program, and it would be amazing if we could set up clinics similar to Gonzaga's legal clinics. These clinics could provide small businesses and nonprofits with the skills and technical assistance needed to protect their data. Let's work together to make this a reality! #CyberSecurity #SmallBusiness #DataProtection #HigherEducation Meanwhile, my colleagues at KaizenCX can analyze and your systems assess your cyber security for free!

Recently, I had the pleasure to participate in the Season IV, US Cyber Open - as a Competitive CTF Participant, where I placed 370th out of 1,535 active players. I had the opportunity to tackle challenges in both the Beginner and Competitive rooms, and don't let beginner fool you - it was tough! I'm proud to have solved 4/8 problems in the Competitive Forensics, and 10 in total from various categories such as: OSINT, cryptography, reverse engineering, and web exploitation - a few of which I will complete a write-up for as they were just that unique and fun. Participating in this CTF has been an eye-opening experience, pushing me to expand my capabilities and think creatively under pressure. Another great aspect of CTF participation is embracing those skill gaps, for me that's web exploitation, and utilizing cyberchef to its full potential. Excited for continued learning as for me, it never stops! #CyberSecurity #CTF #USCyberGames #ContinuousLearning US Cyber Games

The Marathon, Successfully participated in my second CTF Event, NahamCon CTF 2024, team focused event which was exciting to experience. Will be working on my first write up for this one. Exciting stuff. Next up on the agenda, is this upcoming weekend where I'll be taking my talents to the US Cyber Games CTF Event and seeing what magic I can make happen! Studies have continued to begin with a primary focus on Network+, currently getting into the OCI Model, Network Encapsulation, and Network Topolgies. And as always, the journey continues with additional practice for near and future CTF events by utilizing HackTheBox and PicoCTF. Learning more about tools, best practices, and delivering write-ups. Recently discovered from one of my cyber peers, the additional benefits of HackTheBox versus TryHackMe and I am sold. Until next time 💙 #uscybergames #uscybergamesctf

This is an excellent opportunity for college students and small businesses alike! With a shortage of cybersecurity talent, small businesses can now have access to cybersecurity services at an affordable cost. And for college students, this is a chance to learn in real-world situations. Check out the full article from WSJ to learn more about this win-win situation. #cybersecurity #smallbusiness #collegestudents #leveltheplayingfield

https://lnkd.in/ewafdKu3 Glad to see Eastern Michigan University ranking no.7 in the national based on the latest performance of the students in The National Cyber League! The school is not considered a top 50 college in the nation, but the cybersecurity program is one of the best consistently of over 60% cybersecurity classes in the degree requirement vs ~4 cybersecurity classes at most of the U.S colleges.
